That is gallingly opportunistic. She could have done this and kept silent about it, and refused to comment if asked about it. It seems incredibly insincere.

I can think of many, many more stronger words than "seems". You are way to kind to her sir.
Well, why would you expect her to keep silent about it, when she needs to score every political point possible?
And I don't mean that in either an approving or disapproving way. I just thought that this was exactly the job of a political candidate - you go and you draw attention to yourself and check off on important issues, and put spotlight on your "good deeds" etc. I don't know why you'd facepalm at someone for doing precisely what their job is, and what a lot of people are giving her a lot of money to do :hmmm:
An opportunistic politician is, for better or worse, a very effective politician. In many ways, opportunism is a defining quality of the profession.

No, that's someone who's good at governance.
There's a difference between efficiency and effectiveness, and between politics and governance. Unfortunately.

The more things change, the more they remain the same. I couldn't make out the exact year at the bottom of the flyer, but it appears to be 1955, sixty years ago. Fluoridated water? We're still arguing about this and the same old arguments are still be presented. Polio serum? Well, that one's a bit moot by now, but the battle over vaccines, in general, still goes on and has not really moved one bit from the wilder arguments presented against polio vaccines in the 50s. Mental hygiene? It is now a broader web of concepts, practices, and theories; but the argument about this continue also...
What has changed is who s claimed to be responsible for it all. Communism has receded as the default boogeyman. Fluoridated water is now a plot by either the US government to chemically control the populace, a plot by the chemical industries to enrich themselves by 'poisoning' the populace, or its a plot by the pernicious, mysterious, 'New World Order'. Vaccines are now a plot by Big Pharma to enrich themselves at our expense, or an effort to spread certain chemical mind and body controls by, again, the US government or the NWO. There is no end to the plethora of mental health variations now existing and those who have all sorts of reasons or causes and responsible parties for the state of our psyches, individual or collective. This little establishment is a short distance from my home:

I have often wondered how many psychiatrists, driving by, have laughed so hard they nearly wrecked their cars...

Gallingly Opportunistic should be the title of Hillary's autobiography/
